In today's era of digitalization, the use of personal photos without consent is a widespread problem. Often, people's identities are abused by using their photos online without their permission. This happens in numerous contexts - from social media platforms to fraudulent activities. We often do not know where and how our own images are being used, as comprehensive internet monitoring is difficult. Therefore, the main problem is that one can lose control over their own digital presence, as personal photos circulate online without their knowledge or consent.

PimEyes face search helps to solve this problem by using a powerful facial recognition system to search the Internet for images that match the provided facial details. It scans a variety of websites in a short amount of time and delivers an exact match of the found images. The results show where your own image has appeared on the Internet. This gives you an overview of your own online presence and allows you to take targeted action against unwanted use of personal photos. In addition, PimEyes offers advanced features that allow you to proactively take control of your own digital presence. It thus serves as effective Internet surveillance and enables you to actively protect your own photos and control their distribution. PimEyes thereby promotes personal online security and privacy in the digital age.
